Customer Comments

I approached Ian Welsh of Boatshed Poole in August 2014 to sell my Rib. With the guidance offered from Ian Welsh and the Boatshed Poole Team I found the initial paperwork and required information very easy to compile. I was also given valuable assistance to establish an accurate asking price for the Rib. The viewings were conducted efficiently and I was always given comprehensive feedback from the comments made by the prospective buyers. I was given an accurate assessment on the best course of action to take concerning the adjustment of the price and the offers subsequently made by the prospective buyers. Eventually, the Rib sold in early May 2015. I was pleased with the figure it realised and the final documentation required by the buyer was compiled and completed efficiently by Jane Wilkins of Boatshed Poole. Overall, I found the sale of my Rib a very painless process due entirely to the efforts of the team at Boatshed Poole and I would thoroughly recommend other boat owners in the vicinity, who wish to sell their boats, to engage the services of the Boatshed Poole.

Just a note to thank you for the successful and commendably quick sale of my boat. I feared that she might be difficult to place, but you seem to have managed remarkably well! May the rest of your business be equally fortunate.

I would not hesitate to recommend Boatshed Poole when selling a boat. I found them efficient, professional & friendly. They gave a good presentation of my boat. The communication throughout was up to date, very good & informative.

- Ted | Boatshed Poole

Just a brief note to extend a big thank you for your assistance in my recent purchase of the Etap 30. Negotiations could have been a difficult due to the owner now living abroad but I was delighted with the way you were able to overcome the communication issues and effect a speedy and trouble free purchase on my behalf. I also appreciated your personable and professional manner and the help given by Jane in the office. If in the future I need a brokerage service I will certainly be knocking on the door of Boatshed Poole, once again my grateful thanks.

Jeanneau Leader 705 Purchase As a relative newbie to boating, Ian at Boatshed Poole helped simplify every step of my purchase, helping to arrange basics such as a survey & sea trial, but also going the extra mile by filling with fuel for my trip home and arranging for a local fisherman to guide me out of a potentially hazardous marina on an early tide. Always quick to reply to calls & mails and having a 'can do' attitude, I would have no hesitation in recommending.

- Darren | Boatshed Poole

I have just purchased a superb fast fishing boat, a Seafox 256 using Boatshed Poole, the service of Jane and Ian was very good, not just arranging viewings but handling the organisation of a survey and all the financial transaction. The details of the boat advertised on line were very accurate and the photographs did not portray anything but the facts. The whole experience was easy and enjoyable from start to finish, I would not hesitate to use or recommend Boatshed Poole again. Alex, Chef and now catching my own fish

In October 2014 I contacted BoatShedPoole regarding a Cornish Crabber Yawl, they had for sale on their site. I rapidly arranged a viewing of the boat with Ian Welsh. He was very helpful and thoroughly professional. Regarding a couple of my questions he did not know the answers to he quickly found out the answers. Jane Wilkins has also been a point of email contact, she too has been very helpful throughout the process. Both Jane and Ian were easy to contact and responded very quickly. I seem to recall I made an offer on the same day as viewing the boat. From my point of view an excellent price was agreed with the vendor, negotiated by Ian, within a short space of time. The sale was subject to survey. All the arrangements for the surveyor were handled efficiently. Ian negotiated a reduction in the price to my satisfaction, based on the survey. He then was very helpful in advising and supporting me to arrange the stepping of the masts, securing her for transport to North Devon etc. I would thoroughly recommend BoatShedPoole to other people looking to buy a boat.

Hi Ian. Just a note to convey my thanks for completing the sale of "Osprey of Down" The Nimbus 380 Commander. As you know I had it with Offshore Powerboats for some time without much success. Thank you for your diligence, patience and professionalism during the process and be assured that I will recommend Boatshed poole to any of my friends who are in the market to either buy or sell. Once again. My sincere thanks

- Hubert | Boatshed Poole

We just purchased a boat through Boatshed Paris. We cannot recommend Pascal and Boatshed Paris highly enough if you are looking for a broker that is honest, professional and effective. Pascal went far beyond what we expected to help make the sale happen and solved every problem and potential impediment to the sale along the way. I can honestly say we cannot recommend him any higher.

- Mark C, July 2024 | Boatshed Paris

Many thanks for completing the sale so quickly. Payment was swift - same day. What seemed expensive initially, turned out to be very good value given the amount of work involved.

- Ian D, July 2024 | Boatshed Midi Canals

Tim has been amazing at guiding me through my first boat purchase. He has been patient and understanding at every step of the way. Even after completing the purchase he still offers help and assistance. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.

In short, fantastic! Paul guided us through. Can't praise him enough. Great experience, and so fast!

- Lynn & Dave Henderson, June 2024 | Boatshed Yorkshire

Jayne Markham was a very professional boat broker and brought about a sale with a very slow moving customer! She is a credit to Boatshed with her communication skills and non-pushy and patient ways.

- Adrian D, June 2024 | Boatshed Kent

Very professional service. A smooth sale, especially as we were not in the UK for most of the time.

- John H, June 2024 | Boatshed Hamble
